My wife, the Lovely Linda, has breast cancer. We found out yesterday, the result from needle biopsys done on monday. There are 2 of "well differentiated, infiltrating , grade 1 of 3 ductal carcinomas." As I understand, "grade", as opposed to "stage", tells how likely it is to spresd. She goes for an MRI today and then her doctor is setting up an appointment with a surgeon. I feel sick just writing this, I feel sick thinking about it, I feel sick telling family about it, I'm sick of cancer.
